Freight documents can be any type of document that you send with the delivery of the goods. You have two options from which to choose when wishing to work with freight documents:
- From the Work with freight documents menu item.
- When confirming the sales order pick list, as you would normally work with and print freight documents during this process. (See Confirm a pick list for more information).
The information, accessed via the Related topics below, describes the handling of a Bill of Lading document. You handle all other freight documents in the same manner.
